I'm sure the board came from abroad, but the CRT was made at one of two plants here and in Mexico, and the wood cabinets were mainly built in San Diego.
I wonder when Curtis Mathes quit making their own chassis? Curtis himself died in a plan crash in 1985 or 86, and the company went down hill. I think until then, the company bragged that their sets were 100% American-made.
